Incorporating in a rush costs more later
Choosing the company type out of habit
Many companies incorporate as an SA de CV out of inertia. Depending on your partners and plans, another entity may be simpler to manage. For tax purposes they are all taxed as legal entities; the differences are corporate.
A corporate purpose that doesn't work for you
A generic corporate purpose can raise questions at the bank or prevent you from registering in REPSE if you provide specialized services.
Foreign partners without the requirements
Foreign partners require a foreigners admission clause, tax IDs (RFC) for the partners and registration in the National Foreign Investment Registry. Leaving them out delays operations.
Articles, registrations and sign-ups in a single process
Corporate assessment
We look at the number of partners, whether any are foreign, future investment and whether you'll need REPSE. You get a comparison of the options.
Articles of incorporation and registration
A clear corporate purpose, capital, management, powers of attorney and clauses for your case. We coordinate signing before a notary and registration in the Public Registry of Commerce.
SAT, IMSS and INFONAVIT registrations
Tax ID (RFC), company e.firma, invoicing certificates, tax mailbox, employer registration and INFONAVIT.
Ready to operate
Certificates, a guide to opening the business bank account and, if you want, monthly accounting with AO.
The four options, in brief
The four options, in brief
All are taxed the same for income tax as legal entities. The SAS revenue cap is updated every year. This tool doesn't replace a review of your case.

What clients usually ask us
SA de CV or S de RL?
For tax purposes they are the same: both are taxed as legal entities. The corporate rules differ. The S de RL has 2 to 50 partners and partnership interests, and admitting a new partner requires the others' consent. The SA de CV has shares and a statutory auditor and is more flexible for raising investment. The SAPI is designed for investors and shareholder agreements.
Can I incorporate a company with a single partner?
Yes, with a Simplified Stock Company (SAS), which only admits individuals and has an annual revenue cap. The SA de CV and S de RL require at least two partners.
What if there is a foreign partner?
Yes. You need a foreigners admission clause in the bylaws, tax IDs for the partners, apostilled or legalized documents and registration in the National Foreign Investment Registry. We coordinate it with you.
I already incorporated and something is wrong. Can it be fixed?
In most cases, yes, with a shareholders' meeting and its notarization. We tell you what's worth correcting and what isn't.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the type of company, the capital, the partners and the notary's fees. After the assessment we send a written quote with estimated notary costs and the timeline.
